Would it be ok to stop taking folic acid?

Question

I'm nearly 10 weeks pregnant and after two days of not taking folic acid (due to illness) my sickness has been a lot more bearable. I've been taking folic acid up until this point. I have constant nausea (only been sick once) from morning until I go to bed. Will it hurt to stop taking it now?

Answer

If you are not taking a prenatal (Which you really do need to take.) then yes you absolutely need to keep taking it. if your prenatal has it then it is okay to stop.

Answer

Find a prenatal that has it in there that way you’re getting  all of your nutrients. Folic avid is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT for baby’s development, especially their nervous system.

Answer

Folic acid is very important for early development. That's why its IN  prenatals. You do not have to take a separate dose, but you should be taking a prenatal vitamin that has it. They make everyone sick in the beginning. I'm 12 months PP and still nursing and I STILL can't take them without food or I'll vomit.
